About BlackRapid Sport Breathe Original Camera Sling
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
85% found the strap to be extremely comfortable
The strap is super comfortable and ensures my camera is always out of the way but ready in an instant. It's perfect for actively climbing rocks in the desert or quiet street shooting in a crowded souq.
Spacing the buckles apart will allow me to move the camera along the strap as required, which might be more convenient/comfortable while walking.
79% liked the stylish design, while 21% thought it was unappealing.
My previous strap broke after 2 years due to a design flaw that this one does not have.
I am dissatisfied with the design of the camera strap, particularly the plastic clasp and underarm strap. The plastic clasp showed signs of wear after little use and the underarm strap was easily detached, resulting in the loss of the strap. The design flaws are due to a silly design, where the underarm strap hooks on round by your back and clips on round at the front, making it easy to lose. I had to put a cable tie around the hook to hold it together.
The strap design is horrible.
The armpit strap design needs to be rethought, but I still use the device regularly. The rear connector design is also lame and needs to be redone.

81% praised the strap's durability, but 19% had issues with wear and tear
I had to spend extra money on a more durable safety tether for peace of mind.
I was disappointed to see the plastic cover on the carabiner break off just during normal use of taking the strap on and off.
The underarm strap is not permanently connected at one end, which may lead to loss. This could be a durability issue with our product.
82% found the strap easy to use
Using the product was a comfortable and easy experience, making capturing shots quicker and easier than with the standard strap.
The strap is perfect for actively climbing rocks in the desert or quiet street shooting in a crowded souq. It is also super comfortable and ensures that my camera is always out of the way but ready in an instant.
75% praised the high-quality materials, but 25% thought they were subpar
If the link on the strap that connects to the eye (screwed into the body) breaks, it cannot be replaced.
80% liked the strap's stability, while 20% experienced some movement
The secondary strap keeps slipping out of its loop and disconnecting the underarm strap from the primary.
There is a quick release at the top back of the strap without safety, and if it gets undone accidentally, my camera will fall to the ground.
